US 'Homeland Security' Twitter account seemingly run from Israel
- karel-3d 10mo agoNo it was not. That screenshot was nonsense. And if you believe it you are quite gullible.
- sschueller 10mo agoCan you provide a source?
- karel-3d 10mo agoYou can click on the account yourself.

- sschueller 10mo agoHow is this possible? Are they paying social media companies in foreign countries to do their posting?
- qntmfred 10mo agoit's of course possible. it wouldn't make sense, but it is certainly possible. the more important question is whether it is true. no, it is not.
- sfc32 10mo agoMost of Maga is in Africa, and all over Africa? A bit difficult to understand.
- game_the0ry 10mo agoLikely bots using VPNs.
- jstanley 10mo agoThe article is admittedly very difficult to follow, but that's not what it is saying. That is something that it is quoting. Including a "community note" that it is a map of male circumcision from some academic paper. The article is implying that the account that posted the map (which is "fake news" according to the community note in the screenshot) was revealed to be from some country other than the US.
- ceejayoz 10mo agoTwitter’s monetization program rewards engagement. It’s not life changing amounts in the developed world. It is in much of Africa.
- qntmfred 10mo agoit's not real you can safely ignore it
- belter 10mo agoImagine being paid in rubles to pretend you are from Ohio...
- sparrish 10mo agoThe map is fake. Please note the X community note on that post: "This map is the prevalence of male circumcision" from a 2024 study https://www.mdpi.com/2563-6499/5/3/36 https://www.mdpi.com/2563-6499/5/3/36 (see figure 1)
- catigula 10mo agoAFAIK this was fake news. Plenty of screenshots flying making many claims about the intentions of all kinds of people, Israelis, Indians, Nigerians, etc.

Hindustan times article was much better on this. Shows that this issue is prevalent on both side, with seemingly less of an axe to grind against Israel, and Right wing accounts.
- qntmfred 10mo agoyup. it's just discord sowing all around. cambridge analytica wasn't all that long ago.
- saaaaaam 10mo ago(a) The Canary is not a reliable journalistic news source (b) The article says “Twitter is incredibly buggy, so sometimes different people have different user experiences” but then presents the “evidence” of location as incontrovertible proof. (c) One of the maps purporting to show MAGA account locations has a community fact check note attached to it saying that it is, in fact, a map of the prevalence of male circumcision.

- takoid 10mo agoI have yet to see any definitive proof that this is real. The screenshot in this post appears fabricated (specifically, the 'July 2008 in Israel' is misaligned): https://x.com/astrrals/status/1991942287128199433 https://x.com/astrrals/status/1991942287128199433 The video evidence, which is the only video evidence that seems to exist, is equally unconvincing: https://x.com/AdameMedia/status/1992288673887343014 https://x.com/AdameMedia/status/1992288673887343014 Additionally, Nikita Bier has gone on record stating that "Location was not available on any gray check account at any point." https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1992382852328255743 https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1992382852328255743
- derelicta 10mo agoIt got flagged insanely quickly lol
- Sporktacular 10mo agoWhy is this flagged now? It's been 15 minutes. Is this a Hasbara thing again?
- myth_drannon 10mo agoYes, shalom my friend.
